Ew, the Daily News uses the word "randy" to do so, but aw they tell us that the nearly 80 turtles who crawled onto the runway at JFK yesterday were there to make baby turtles! They were rudely interrupted however, when the "Port Authority workers rushed to the shell-covered runway about 8:30 a.m. and scooped up 78 diamondback terrapins." (According to WCBS 2, a "chorus of pilots" had radioed the tower to chime in about the "massive numbers" of turtles.) The breeding turtles, which are about 8 inches long and weigh 2 to 3 pounds each, were put into a pickup truck and moved back to Jamaica Bay. One Port Authority spokesman said, "Everybody had a good attitude considering it was turtles going off to hatch more turtles." And if they weren't, then what.... they get the Canada Geese treatment?

According to a biologist/Jamaica Bay turtle expert at Hofstra University, the Port spokesman's knowledge of turtle mating habits might be lacking. He says they normally mate in the spring. Sounds like these turtles just wanted to go for a hike.
Hearkening back to my own experience with pet water turtles, I'm pretty sure mating would only happen in the water.
your pet water turtles aren't the same as these turtles.
I prefer just past the runway...on the hood of a car.
doin' it turtle-style...hot!
If you've ever seen turtles or tortoises mating, it's a pretty gross affair. They grunt and groan very loudly. Unpleasant.
wait that was me! just kidding....or am I?
Maybe one of them was Bloomberg. All I can think of is a turtle when I see his face.
i glad they gassed them as the geese or killed the as the feral cats. Thanks goodness it was Bloomberg's call. He would have boil them.
i glad they DIDN'T gassed them as the geese or killed them as the feral cats. Thanks goodness it was Bloomberg's call. He would have boil them.

FAIL.
LAME
I dated this chick once who had a pet turtle and used to breed it with this other turtle who belonged to a lesbian couple from up in the Bronx... freaks.
Filthy animals having sex in public. Where are our morals?
Fear The Turtle.

This turtle knows how to do it. He is beating her ass and at the end his victory shouts are awesome.
